Section TARC Training and Resource Centre URSC Upazilla Road Safety Committee INTRODUCTION On March 01, 2006 a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) was signed by Mr. Rainer Kuhnle, Institutional Development & Training Adviser (IDTA), RDP-25 / RIIP-IST, LGED, PMO, Dhaka and Director, BRAC Mr. Ahmed Najmul Hussain for undertaking Road Safety awareness for School Students under LGED’s RIIP-RDP-25 in Barisal and Khulna Division. Accordingly BRAC commenced the project activities on 15.03.2006. The statistics reveal that Bangladesh has one of the highest fatality rate in road accidents. At least 10 to 12,000 thousand people loose their lives due to road accident every year. Majority of accidents take place on highways. The upazila roads of LGED are not affected by road accidents at present as highways. But after the present widening and repair works, these roads are likely to be scenes of high speed and increased motorised and non-motorized traffic. Besides the new good roads offering better communication will generate trips increasingly of local inhabitants to cities, markets, growth centers etc. for trade, education, business. This will expose the local road users to more accident risks. Their lack of road safety awareness particularly of pedestrians and drivers of rural transports like rickshaws, auto rickshaws and human haulers will be threats to road safety in future unless actions are not taken right now to improve road safety awareness. This project therefore has been designed and implemented by BRAC to provide road safety awareness to the most vulnerable section of pedestrians i.e., the students of the selected educational institutions situated beside the project roads. Road safety training for local NGO/CBOs was included in the project with a view to develop road safety institutions at local level – a very important need for sustainability of road safety initiatives at grass root level. An assessment of the impact of this awareness project was carried out in a small scale, which has shown positive results. OBJECTIVE To improve road safety awareness of students of educational institutions situated beside selected upazila roads of LGED with a view to reduce their risks of road accidents. To develop capacity and awareness of local NGOs/CBOs enabling them to assist the communities to plan, manage and maintain their own road safety initiatives and help establish their linkages with road safety institutions and service providers. SCOPE OF WORK Under the RIIP/RDP-25, LGED is constructing/reconstructing/rehabilitating 106 upazila roads in Barisal and Khulna Divisions. These roads are expected to carry high traffic after completion of the work. Through this project during 5 months from March to August 2006 the students of educational institutions situated within 500 metres at either side of 14 upazila roads have been made aware about safety. Name of the project roads with length, number of educational institutions and number of students are given below: 1 Barisal Division No. No. of District Upazila Name of Road Length of EI Student Barisal Gournadi Gournadi Bandar – Sarikol 17.20 10 3006 Pirojpur Sadar Pirojpur - Sreeramkati upto Dakshin Jibgram 11.61 11 3228 Jhalokhati Sadar Jhalokhati Bus Station-Manpasha GC upto 10.096 10 2376 Balakdia R&H road Patua-khali Kalapara Alipur GC - via Kalaroa Chapila Bazar 11.957 05 964 Bhola Sadar llisha bus stand Kalghat – Pangasia Bazar 13.10 08 3236 Barguna Bamna Amua Kheyghat – Dauatola up to Pilulia 21.00 18 3389 Bazar Total 84.963 62 16199 Khulna Division No. No. of District Upazila Name of Road Length of EI Student Jessore Sadar Haibatpur – Hashimpur GCC 10.43 09 2086 Magura Salikha Simakhali – Bunagati via Hazrahati 13.80 14 3785 Jhenidah Kaliganj Nirikelbaria – Kaliganj via Naldanga bazar 15.60 15 3420 Kushtia–Rajbari RHD–Panti GC via Kushtia Kumarkhali 16.00 08 1878 Jaduboyra–Sandiara bazaar Narail Lohagora Laxmipasha – Mohajon 13.50 11 3124 Khulna Dumuria Dumuria – Baroria 16.52 07 1245 Bagerhat Sadar Barakpur – Chulkati – Plolerhat GCC 11.90 10 2291 Satkhira Kalaroa Baguri Beltala – Gourahati 10.50 07 2261 Total 108.25 81 20090 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY Reconnaissance of the 14 project roads was carried out through extensive visits. For this the project staff had to visit these roads, built up areas and villages along the roads, talk to teachers, students, shop keepers and villagers to obtain information about local road accidents, knowledge and behavior about use of road and discuss with engineers / consultants of the particular LGED projects about the road design and engineering facilities to be provided. Providing training on road safety to teachers and students of educational institutions situated beside the selected project roads is very cost effective. For this the project staff visited selected educational institutions along the road and discussed with the teachers and students. Two teachers from each educational institution were selected to receive training on road safety. 2 For educational institutions having less number of students one teacher was selected. The trained teachers in turn were used to provide road safety training to the entire students of their institutions, using the training flipcharts. For sustainability of community driven initiatives it has been experienced in the country as well as abroad that local NGOs who live close to local communities and work at grass root level can play major role in improving road safety awareness at community level in the following way: . Through using the flip chart and posters received from this project, they will make different local groups of road users aware on road safety . Would take active role and participate in any road safety activities organized by URSC, DRSC, Road authorities, Police etc. Will be involved in the implementation of this project on voluntary basis, act as bridge between the community and road safety service providers like URSC, police, LGED, hospitals/clinics, transport associations etc. Contribute in sustaining road safety initiatives locally with support and sponsorship from local philanthropists, private sector businesses etc. Be encouraged to apply and become member of URSC in the slot of NGO membership . Will be capable to submit project proposal for improving local road safety to NGO Foundation or other donors/fund providers with technical support from BRAC . Be included in BRAC’s Road Safety-NGO Network and keep constant contact with BRAC for updates on road safety good practices, materials etc. Since it was a community centric project, a certain amount of flexibility in the implementation process had to be resorted for coping with some unavoidable and changed circumstances. IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET GROUP The review of accidents revealed that lack of knowledge of students about road safety particularly on safe walking and crossing of roads are main reasons of road accidents involving students. Besides, the local community and community based organizations i.e., NGOs and CBOs engaged in various socio economic activities living at grass root level are well placed to make the road users aware about road safety but they are not aware themselves in this regard. Considering the prevailing lack of awareness as mentioned above the following were selected as target groups of the awareness campaign: . Teachers and students of selected road side educational institutions . Selected local NGO/CBOs STAFF AND OFFICE The following staff assigned/placed by BRAC were involved in the implementation of the project. They operated from the Project Field Office established at BRAC Area Office, Churamonkathi, Sadar Upozila, Jessore and BRAC BDP Patuakhali Regional Office, Shiuli Mansion, Choto Chourasta, DC Office Road, Patuakhali.

The soils were analyzed for texture, pH, EC, N, P, K, S, and Na to determine the qualitative analysis of some essential plant nutrients in agricultural soil to examine the nutrient status of soils for assessing crop suitability. The texture classes were silt loam in Gournadi Upazila. Sand fractions varied from 13.25-26.25%. Silt fractions varied from 44.5-77.5% and clay fractions varied from 10.25-29.25%. The soil pH of Gournadi ranged from 7.16-8.72. The soil of this zone is practically alkaline. Measurement of electrical conductivity helps to identify the level of salinity. The EC values ranged from 0.09-0.24 dS/m which indicated the soils were none saline. Total N content at Gournadi ranged from 0.028-0.74%. The average total N content observed at this Upazilla was 0.11%.

    Chapter-vi : Socio-economic Profile of the Study Area 189---198 Physical feature and socio-historical background Demography Literacy Administrative Unit Transport Communications Socio-economic Profile ofthe Study Area 189 For a proper understanding of the problem, it is essential to briefly refer to an ecological profile of Kushtia district as the values and characteristics of the masses very much depend upon, and are influenced by geographical, economic, social and political background of the area. Physical feature and socio-historical background Kushtia is not an ancient township but one of the eighteen oldest districts in independent Bangladesh. There is no much evidence to know the ancient history of Kushtia. The only tool to be informed about the district what was portrayed through description by different persons based on different regimes in the region governed. Hamilton's Gazetteer has mentioned of Kushtia town and of the fact that the local people called the town Kushtay (Kushte). In Tolemy's map, several little islands have been portrayed under the Ganges basin. These islands are considered as ancient Kushtia. 1 The district was under Natore Zemindar in 1725. Then it was under Rajshahi civil administration of Kanadarnagar Pargana. 2 Later East India Company transferred Kushtia under Jessore district in 1776. It was brought under Pabna district in 1828. Then Mahkuma Administration was established under Kushtia in 1861 and then brought under Nadia district.3 During the British rule, railway connection with Kolkata, capital of British India, established in 1860, made the town an alluring location for mills and factories, including the Jagneshwar Engineering Works (1896), Renwick and Company ( 1904 ), and the Mohini Mills (1919).

    Bangladesh Page 1 of 20 Bangladesh Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 11, 2008 Bangladesh is a parliamentary democracy of 150 million citizens. Khaleda Zia, head of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), stepped down as prime minister in October 2006 when her five-year term of office expired and transferred power to a caretaker government that would prepare for general elections scheduled for January 22. On January 11, in the wake of political unrest, President Iajuddin Ahmed, the head of state and then head of the caretaker government, declared a state of emergency and postponed the elections. With support from the military, President Ahmed appointed a new caretaker government led by Fakhruddin Ahmed, the former Bangladesh Bank governor. In July Ahmed announced that elections would be held by the end of 2008, after the implementation of electoral and political reforms. While civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces, these forces frequently acted independently of government authority. The government's human rights record worsened, in part due to the state of emergency and postponement of elections. The Emergency Powers Rules of 2007 (EPR), imposed by the government in January and effective through year's end, suspended many fundamental rights, including freedom of press, freedom of association, and the right to bail. The anticorruption drive initiated by the government, while greeted with popular support, gave rise to concerns about due process. For most of the year the government banned political activities, although this policy was enforced unevenly.

E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +88-01815-074884. Accepted 25 October 2012 The paper analyzes the problems and prospects of rice marketing in Bangladesh by way of using secondary data as well as primary data. Both secondary and primary data are indicative of the fact that rice marketing in Bangladesh is marred by a wide range of problems including packaging, transporting, storage, distribution and pricing. There is a comparative advantage in the production of high yielding rice in Bangladesh but its marketing system is not suitable to the small farmers to bring fair price. Most of the respondents’ opined the major causes of price hike are natural disaster, inadequate supply of food grain in the market, less production, hoarding by traders and creating artificial food crisis in the market, problems of communication system, increase of middlemen in the market to reach food grain to consumers. This study is explanatory in nature which suggests measures that can benefit both the farmers and the end users. Key words: Agriculture, marketing, Bangladesh. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is one of the less developed countries in the marketing if they think about what to produce and how to world, with a per capita income of about $700 in 2010.
